KugaWestie Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Yet more sanding and filling on the rear passenger arch I always seem to have a bit of filler left over, so I have started using the spare up on the front passenger wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Bodywork is always the same on restorations, too. It can be a grim relentless task at times, that feels like it will never end. It does though, and when the prep has been done well enough that it’s driven you to despair, you know that when you finally get it to paint, the end result will be stunning.

KugaWestie Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 I sanded back again this afternoon and then applied a couple of coats of etch primer on the rear passenger wing The primer has shown up where some more fine filling is needed, so more to be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaWestie Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 It has been a few very tough days. My father got admitted to hospital last Weds lunchtime and sadly passed away Saturday Lunchtime, with the decision having to be taken to turn the support machines off. A victim of Covid 19 which brought on chronic pneumonia. It is so so sad. Nobody could visit, only 10 allowed to the funeral, not sure mum can attend due to her age etc etc. Really could not get much worse. On top of that we have had to furlough all our employees and have also decided to mothball the company until the end of April. I really don’t know what the future holds at present. So over the last few days I have been trying to keep myself busy pottering away on the car. On the passenger door I realised that I had cut away slightly too much of the moulding, so when the door seal was fitted it did not actually seal on the door. So I bonded a section of fibreglass onto the body Then I trimmed it and glassed over it Next job was to remove the door and start filling again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
